The Real Star

Most people live in boxes upon

Boxes like gerbils in cages,

While others live in fortresses upon rocks

And plan everyone’s lives through the ages. The media and Hollywood love these wanna be stars

Who spout their views

For all to hear,

While the unknowns ride their bars

And quietly live the Good News. This Good News, who is Jesus

Became part of the wheel

And spoke his heart day after day

With nothing but good

A Light, a ray. Two thousand years later through wars, toil, and sweat

The wanna be twinkles fade

But Jesus’ words still keep the motion that the winds bade

And the hearts of the poor

And all their needs are met. For the real star is the Star of David

Not the fake ones that Hollywood follows

But the humble One born in a stable

The Mighty, True One that God gave us

And we sent to the gallows. We mostly achieve small things in life

But sometimes we build cities and towns

Sometimes they last and sometimes they fall down

But that which is God’s kingdom

Will never die but eternally abound.
